Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ...

From [livejournal.com profile] lysana: It's thanksgiving dinner! In a bottle!
In the words of the immortal Kay, "if the people who CREATED it can't drink it, that should be a SIGN."


This morning the characters, bastards all of them, decided I should be doing an entirely different NaNo project. So now I'm ... 1400 words in, and eight days behind. Boo-yah!
(The NaNovel will be happening over at [livejournal.com profile] tangentialcurve, which is The New Writing Journal. The first part should be happening sometime this evening, Gord Willing.)

Hey, at least you had that many words... ;)

No, really. It's hard work writing so many words in a month. I tried it and I am up to... (drum roll please) 528! Yeah, I really have no time with med school and exams. I'm hoping to do some major catching up over Thanksgiving break-- five and a half days off!

Wow, I thought I was mildly insane for attempting this with a toddler. Go you. :-D

I had a similar problem with my NaNo novel, though at least my characters were nice enough to change topics the second day. Eheh. Eight days behind isn't entirely impossible... Good luck!
